piercing infected?

Skyler

so I just got a second and third lobe piercing on my left ear.

after getting a second lobe and helix on my right ear last year I was completely obsessed with the thought of two more lobe piercings for my left one.

now that’s about 2-3 weeks ago and while the second lobe is healing well the third one is kind of acting up.

it’s very crusty around the stem, a dark a bit bloody crust and some clear fluid coming out sometimes. as soon as I remove that crust carefully it just starts bleeding again and I woke up with a few tiny blood stains on my pillow this morning.

is it infected?

i really hope it’s not it doesn’t hurt at all but itches sometimes as if it’s healing and i’ve been putting on wound wash as regularly as possible but I don’t know what to do anymore now.

can someone help?
